Same. All gifts are going to be 2nd hand, homemade DIY, or small/local business who make their own products. I’m actually having more fun shopping when I find 2nd hand treasures.

We call them Spoonies as well in Northwest US. The best alternate name I’ve heard for them is “Italian Mallard” because they dress flashy compared to the mallard.

Yeah, I think I seen his previous videos at the desk before. I understand, I’ve fallen for AI/fake propaganda too. None of us are immune to it. Just gives credence of the need to have extra scrutiny with any media nowadays.

You got me. Fat thumbs missed the space bar. Still don’t think autocorrect or lack of edit feature posted a fake AI video on its own.

Aghhhh, makes sense. I grew up in the beanie baby era, so I was groomed to be inclusive, woke and Antifa.

Like, the DC shooting was an inside job? No way in our government.

Fall and Spring are my favorite times of the year for this reason.

This is AI. Watch the glass of water and it’s edited and inconsistent with Deniro’s movements. Also, he looks different and sounds different. I’m sorry, but I gotta call a spade a spade.

I’m also nurturing myself better by doing things that benefit my physical and mental health that otherwise would have been occupied by the oligarch designed distractions. They woke a sleeping giant and I hope others continue to join the movement.

Yep, as I refrain from corporate spending and cancel subscriptions in protest, the more I’m realizing I never needed these things. They were luxuries, and although it brought some benefit it came with a price of oppression. My life is becoming more simple. I’m spending more quality times w/others.

So stop shopping at corporations. It will be tough, and inconvenient, but it’s for our own survival. Until they are gone or pay their fair share of taxes, my MO will be solely to investing into my community or small businesses. Have not spent one dollar during this blackout. WE AIN’T BUYING IT!

Wonderful response by Walz. Republicans are trying to carry Trump across the 2 year mark so Vance can be eligible for two terms after finishing Trump 2.0. I just don’t think they can survive the voter sentiment fallout which will be to their own party demise in House and Senate.

What is the logical explanation for announcing this but remaining to conceal the names? I’m inclined to say it’s for profit and attention rather than providing justice for the victims. By announcing the names does not jeopardize criminal investigations.
